Jazz Chisholm Jr. Reflects on Struggles Amid Yankees' Win Over Dodgers

After a thrilling 2-1 victory against the Dodgers, Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. took a moment to reflect on his challenging season. Despite his game-winning home run in the eighth inning, Chisholm was candid about his struggles throughout 2026, admitting, "I've sucked all season."

Currently, Chisholm's batting average stands at .224 with 14 home runs over 94 games, marking his lowest performance in a full major league season. His struggles have been particularly pronounced, with a dismal .177 average in June, which has continued into July following a somewhat better May.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed his belief in Chisholm's potential, stating that the team expects more from him. After the game, Boone praised Chisholm for his timely hit, especially after the team missed an earlier opportunity to capitalize with bases loaded.

Despite the series loss to the Dodgers, Chisholm remains optimistic about the Yankees' capabilities. He believes that when the team is focused, they can compete with any opponent, emphasizing the need for consistency as they aim for a potential rematch in the upcoming postseason.
